Review: Excellent in every way - High quality with attention to the details that makes the difference, excellent job Shimoda.
Review: The world best backpack. - Stop your search, this is the absolute best backpack in the world. I take 125+ flights per year and I have finally found a backpack that's good for both business AND adventure travel. I have taken this bag from to the base of mount Everest to the most remote, beautiful island in Papua New Guinea. It's not too big, it has quite possibly the worlds best shoulder strap for both functionality and comfort, and it JUST LOOK AND FEELS GOOD. If you are always searching for the perfect backpack, look no further. This is it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent in every way

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The world best backpack.
*by B***E on 18 March 2023*

Stop your search, this is the absolute best backpack in the world. I take 125+ flights per year and I have finally found a backpack that's good for both business AND adventure travel.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love it!
*by Q***. on 9 October 2022*

Got the bag last week, haven't yet gone to any trips with it yet. But I'm loving this bag! I got the 30L with medium mirrorless core unit. I also bought the small DSLR core unit as suggested in one of the videos by Shimoda on Youtube - this gives me a lot for customizability options as opposed to getting a large mirrorless core unit. 30L is the perfect size for me - 35L would have been too big. Another thing, the front pocket can fit a packing cube containing clothes for a 2/3 days trip. It's all a bit snug, but I like it. In the core unit combos, I can fit my Sony A7Riii with Tamron 35-150mm f2-2.8 attached, Sony 24mm f1.4GM, Sigma 85mm f1.4 Art, Tamron 150-500mm, DJI Air 2S with Smart Controller and place for an additional lens (I'm still deciding which ultrawide zoom to buy, my previous Sigma 14-24mm f2.8 Art became faulty). The backpack is very comfortable. My previous camera backpack was Manfrotto 3N1-35 (and National Geographic Rucksack before that which I lost), which didn't see much use - the Shimoda is on another level. I also have the PD Sling 10L (version 1) and PGYTECH 6L Sling for different purposes and Sterkmann 30L travel backpack (not photography-oriented) which I love. Honestly, the Shimoda is by far the most sophisticated backpack I've ever had. I'm really excited about my next trip even more because I'll be using this amazing backpack.
